A Landslide Disaster Risk Management Mission to the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan
In late July 2015, accelerated snow and glacier melting, caused by unusually high temperatures, triggered severe mudflows and flooding in Pamir Mountains in the central Tajikistan. As a result of the mudflows, a large debris fan was deposited and extended out into, and blocked, the Gunt River, some 20km upstream of the town of Khorog. The natural “mudflow” dam was about 1,000,000m3 in volume and the lake that formed behind extended 2.4km upstream and flooded the town of Basem.
